A-level subjects help

7

So i got my gcse results and didn't get what i needed to do the subjects what i wanted, so i'm thinking of picking computer science, economics or business and psychology instead, i was gonna pick maths instead of psychology but i didn't get the grade and apparently its really hard, so is this a good choice, cause i'm clueless of what i want to do rn but these subjects seem alright to me? I also have no intention of going uni, so what could i do after?

yes its a good choice. pick economics as it is favoured more by universities. you could do a degree apprenticeship.

What do you want to do with these A levels - if Uni, do you have any ideas about likely degree subjects?
Just be aware that for Comp Sci and Economics degrees you will need Maths.

I didn't get the grade for maths but they still might let me do it but i think it'll be really hard for me, doesn't economics have maths in it? Nah i have no clue what i want to do in the future, i feel like i'm doing a-levels just for the sake of getting grades

a degree apprenticeship combines both work and study. you spend 20% of your time at a university and 80% of your time in a job role.
